Wills Brook Screen
The Wills Brook Screen is a small-scale example of infrastructure integration within the public realm. Given its residential context and close proximity to a neighbourhood park, the screen both conceals the Wills Brook Odour Control Facility and adds an artistic relationship to the adjacent forest, which served as the backdrop for the project. We worked with the City of Surrey on the selection of materials, colours, and textures to ensure harmonious design with the neighbouring homes, as well as a proposal for the surrounding planting and roadside improvements. The final design implemented an undulating wooden slat system that offers a dynamic appearance as viewed by those passing by, as well as satisfying all the City’s security and maintenance requirements.
